"I have gained more knowledge again! Is this the only river without mosquitoes in the Negro River? What about the Amazon River?" Hong Tao felt relieved this time. Finally, he no longer had to be harassed by mosquitoes. When he came here, he had been worried about the anti-mosquitoes he bought from the United States.
The mosquito ointment tube doesn't work.
"Oh, the water in the Amazon River is yellow, and most of it flows down from the mountains. The mosquitoes there are so powerful that even the Indians living there have to apply a kind of leaf juice every day, otherwise they will be bitten.
Die!" Anaya likes to gesture with her hands and make faces when she talks. When she said that she was bitten by a mosquito, her tongue even came out.
"We have accumulated great virtues. If Fernando hadn't found this Anaya for us, if we went to the Amazon Basin, everyone would probably have gained weight when we came back. The $200 was really not a waste!" Hong Tao heard
It's a bit scary here, even the native Indians can't stand it. Their delicate skin will not become a feast for mosquitoes when they get there!
"The black water we have here can also cure skin diseases and is very good for the skin." Seeing Hong Tao and the others chatting happily with Ananya, an Indian boy put down the dishes and didn't leave. He started to interject while talking.
While talking, he talked about his clothes and showed everyone the skin on his body.
But he added that women who want to give birth to boys should not drink it. If you drink too much of this black water, most of the babies will be girls. He also has an argument for this, that is, the Indian tribes here are all women.
More men and less.
And his statement was also recognized by Ananya. It is said that in the Indian tribes in the Black River Basin in the past, most of them, from leaders to warriors, were women. They were as athletic as men. They could chase animals in the rain forest, and their arrow skills were accurate.
In order not to affect archery, those female warriors would cut off the "ruffang" on one side when they were young, so as not to affect the bow and arrow shooting. They are simply too sturdy.
These are not legends. Anaya said that there is an oil painting in the Manaus City Hall, which depicts this kind of female tribe at that time. But too few men will affect the population of the tribe. So these female tribes attacked everywhere, and
They would go to other Indian tribes in the distance to capture men, snatch them back and marry them.
To this day, there are more girls than boys near Manaus. In order to get married, a girl not only has to prepare a generous dowry, but also prays that a young man will like her. For this reason, special prayer platforms are set up in many places.
Used to complain to God or the Holy Mother.
Hong Tao has no place to verify whether the river water has the function of giving birth to girls, but let alone, although the skin of this young man is a bit dark, it is very shiny, with such a healthy and moist color. Not only him. An
Naya and the others all have this kind of skin. It turns out that Hong Tao thought that it was just like the white teeth of black people. He didn't expect that the black river water, which didn't look very clean, could have such a function.
"Can it cure athlete's foot?" Fatty Bu Tian shamelessly stretched out his fat feet.
"No problem, if you take more bubbles every day, it will definitely work!" The Indian boy gave him a positive answer.
"It's best to soak during the day when there are people around. Don't put your feet in the water. There are crocodiles here!" Anaya then gave a chilling reply.
"Fuck you! You're going to hurt me! Then I'd better bear with it." As soon as Fatty Bu heard about crocodiles, he immediately stopped hating athlete's foot. Compared with losing a foot, athlete's foot is nothing. It's okay to scratch it when you have nothing to do.
Quite casual.
"You wash your hands first before eating! Otherwise we won't serve it!" Hong Tao saw him touching his feet and immediately pushed him out and asked him to go outside the railing to wash his hands.
"Old Hong, Old Hong, Master Hong, don't push me. I can't wash it off if I go back to the room. It's already dark and there are crocodiles!" Fatty Bu used a heavy weight drop and shrank back as hard as he could. It seemed that Fatty was mostly afraid.
Very powerful, like Fat Boss.
Since Hong Tao and the others were the first Chinese to stay at the Dahe Hotel, the cook was also very happy. She specially added a piece of fried peacock bass to everyone's dinner, and also lit two more gas lanterns in the hall, making it very interesting.
atmosphere.
While eating delicious seabass and salad with rice, listening to the sounds of unnamed animals in the water and on the shore is a kind of artistic conception. After the meal, there was beer and a tropical fruit platter, and everyone sat under the lights.
On the wooden chairs, a small breeze was blowing, and we chatted wordlessly. You tell me interesting stories about the Amazon, and I tell you about China. We quickly became familiar with each other. Anyway, there are only a few people here.
Hong Tao was the first to go back to the room to sleep. Fatty Bu and Sturgeon slept on the boat for several hours. At this time, after drinking a small beer, they were chatting with Anaya and the others. Anaya also took the fishing rods here.
After taking it out, the two boys were selecting their weapons for tomorrow. Hong Tao saw that he couldn't finish it in a while, so he might as well go to bed first. As for the fishing rod or something, it didn't matter. We would talk about it tomorrow.
The weather in the rainforest changes really fast. The first night it was full of stars, but a few hours later it became windy and rainy. When the cook woke everyone up from the room for breakfast, Hong Tao was also dumbfounded. It was raining outside.
Not too big and not too small, but obviously you can't go fishing by boat.
But as long as fishermen are by the water, they will definitely be restless. Since you can't go out to fish, then fish next to the camp. Where there is water, there will definitely be fish. It's just a matter of how many and how big they are.
After breakfast, Hong Tao and the three of them each took a small lure rod, found a spacious place, divided it into two directions, and began to search. Speaking of the fishing rods here in Anaya, there is only one type, all of which are lures.
Asian rods, but the brands are very mixed. There are almost no duplicates of the more than 20 fishing rods. There are Japanese fishing rods, as well as those from the United States and Europe. In addition, there are some brands of fishing rods that even Hong Tao doesn’t recognize. They are probably from Brazil.
products.
Although Hong Tao and the others did not bring fishing rods, they still brought a lot of accessories such as fishing reels, lines, fishhooks, etc. When they entered the customs of the United States and Argentina, the security personnel used machines to scan these weird things more than once, and they also asked them more than once
After taking it out for inspection and discovering that it was a fishing wheel and fishhook, the security personnel did not give them any trouble. Some even asked where they were fishing and what kind of fish they were fishing. It seemed that people who like fishing are all over the world.
Hong Tao is not very familiar with the lure fishing method, but Fatty Bu and Sturgeon are experts in this area. What do you mean by finding punctuation marks, water surface system, and underwater system? Hong Tao listened to the vernacular for a long time, and actually changed the common saying to
He just used more professional-sounding words, so he left the two academic fishermen with disdain and ran to the other end to play by himself.
Hong Tao was as troublesome as they said, so he hung up a small sequin and threw it more than 20 meters, then slowly retracted the line, shaking it with the tip of the pole from time to time to make the sequin move more violently in the water.
The first rod missed the fish, and the second rod still missed the fish. On the third rod, as soon as the sequins entered the water, a force was transmitted to Hong Tao's hand through the fishing line, and something was pulling on the sequins underwater. Hong Tao shook his hand.
, use the elasticity of the fishing rod to give the fishhook a force to penetrate into the fish's mouth, and then start to tighten it and retract the line at a constant speed.
Seeing that the fish under the water was about to be pulled out, Hong Tao suddenly felt a light touch on his hand, something bad! The fish was unhooked! No, why was there no weight at all? It didn't pull my sequins away too!
This time Hong Tao's judgment was correct. When he took the fishing line back, it was completely empty, the sequins were gone, and there were obvious signs of friction at the end of the fishing line.
"Hey, I have a bad temper! If you dare to bite off my fishing line, I will fight with you!" It doesn't matter if you can't catch the fish, but if the fishhook is bitten by the fish, it will be the same as a soldier's gun being snatched away by the enemy.
Again, it was a great insult. Hong Tao took the fishing rod and returned to the hall. He took off the fishing reel and replaced it with a fishing reel wrapped with PE line. He continued to hang a small sequin and returned to the previous position.
This time the fishing rod was hit by a fish as soon as he threw it down. Hong Tao no longer reeled in the line so gently. He straightened the fishing rod up and stretched it backwards. Then he lowered the fishing rod as he reeled in the line, until the fishing line was caught.
Straighten it, and then stretch the fishing rod. In this way, the fish in the water will not even have the chance to swim hard, and will be lifted up by the Hong Tao as it spins in circles.
As for why Hong Tao didn’t lift the fish up so cleanly just now and let the fish in the water bite off the hook, the main reason is that he used an ordinary fishing line and the fishing reel was small, so he fished with this small fishing rod.
They are just for fun with small fish, but now they have been replaced with PE threads, which are both anti-biting and have strong pulling force, so Hong Tao has the capital not to be used to them.
The caught fish is a bit like the flat fish we usually eat. It is slightly larger than the palm of an adult. Its body is pale white with more than ten small black spots on its side. Its pectoral fin, dorsal fin and tail fin are all black, and its mouth is black.
It has a bit of lower teeth, with two rows of sharp triangular teeth inside.
"Boy! I asked you to snatch my fishhook. Are you sure now? Don't be busy. I'll see what kind of fish you are first." Hong Tao picked up the fish tail and ran to his house to get the fish atlas.
He took it out and placed it on the dining table in the hall. He turned over it and looked at the fish in his hand.
"This is white bilayani. It's edible. I'll get you a small bucket so you can live a better life!" The cook came to Hong Tao at some point and pointed at the fish in his hand.
There were a lot of words, but when Hong Tao got to the point where he could only understand one sentence, he could eat it!
"Where have Anaya and the others gone?" Seeing the cook, Hong Tao remembered that he had not seen Anaya and the two Indian boys all morning.
"They went to refuel the boat and brought the speedboat back. It's raining today and you can't go fishing. It's time to get ready. You'll be back soon." The cook took out a plastic bucket from the kitchen and handed it to Hong Tao.
